Chapter 448 (2/2)
Early the next morning.
Maoda brought the group of people who planned to leave the city with him, their goods tied to the bears. Shao Xuan and Guang Yi helped.
“Did you sleep well last night?” Maoda was worried they might lose sleep over the Linlu tribe. Unexpectedly, both didn’t look like they stayed up all night.
“Quite well,” said Shao Xuan. “Thank you for letting us stay here.”
“You don’t have to thank us. Boss said we benefited from your visit too,” Maoda said with a grin then turned to check on the other goods. Then he turned, his eyes were filled with worry. The latest reports denoted that the Lu family planned to stop them. However, they were still awaiting the boss’ instructions. They were checking to see if there was another way.
This time, the Linlu tribe’s target was not the Black Bears but they could not just leave Shao Xuan and Guang Yi alone. They had their principles too. Plus, tossing Shao Xuan aside also looked like they were afraid of the Linlu tribe. For this, they also had to fight.
Maoda looked at the bear crouching on the ground. It was just the Linlu tribe! What was there to be afraid of? They hadn’t fought enough the last time, so they’ll finish it today!
At the city gates, the guards yawned as they opened the gates. They were about to chat but realised the silhouettes were familiar.
“Eh? Is that Young Master Jing from the Ji family?” She didn’t usually get up this early.
“Haven’t you heard?” asked one person.
“Heard what?”
Not just Young Master Jing, many people from the great six families came too.” The other guy nudged.
Looking over, there were several carriages with emblems of aristocrats.
“What day is it? Why are they all up so early?”
“To watch the show,” the guy said mysteriously.
“Show? What show? Someone’s performing here?”
“Tsk, you’re not updated at all!” The other guy said mischievously, “I heard the Lu family had invited them over to watch.”
“The Lu family? The new Lu family of the Linlu tribe?”
“Yep, that’s them.”
The guard wasn’t interested.
“Didn’t they say Lubi from Lu was beaten up? What’s there to watch.”
“It’s hard to say. They could win this time?”
“You’re saying…”
The few guards discussed.
The young masters had already climbed up the city wall and entered the towers on both sides of the city gates.
These young masters were the ones who received the gifts sent out by the Lu family yesterday. There was a letter in the present, inviting them here to watch.
The rest were just here because there was a crowd. Ji Jing, Ji Yuan and the rest had already chosen a good spot in the tower.
Outside the city gates, Yi Shi was dozing off in his carriage. When they approached the gates, he sensed that something was off!
There were usually more carriages here since the roads near the fields were no longer blocked. He was rarely up this early too. However, something was off.
Looking up at the towers next to the gates, he saw many familiar faces. It was too early for this!
“What’s going on?” Yi Shi told his driver to ask the guards.
Initially, the guards did not know much but after gossip spread like wildfire, everyone now knew. Since this was someone from the Yi family, they were in a good mood to answer questions.
The driver returned to tell Yi Shi what the guards said.
“The Lu family? Flaming Horn?” Yi Shi mulled over his words. He knew the young man who visited his farm with Ji Ju was from Flaming Horn. And there were only two people from Flaming horn here!”
“Young Master, should we continue?” asked the driver.
“No, send these things back quickly. I’ll go up and watch with them. Although the Yi family was not involved, as a descendant of the Yi family, he still had the qualifications to go up the tower.
Since Yi Shi had already made the decision, the driver could only obey.
When he arrived at the top of the wall, he realised there were many people here. Other than his own Yi family, there were people from the other five families too. The ones who usually slept like pigs were here, yawning.
